Correct. It isn't a supported feature (at least in Windows Phone 7).

Make sure that any essential information needed to fill out the field is stored in a <label>.

With the exception of inputs which have built in labels (such as submit buttons), all input (and select and textarea) elements should be accompanied by a label.

Eugh, that script performs `value` abuse. – Quentin Jun 10 '13 at 10:10
take a look at this discussion http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5522164/input-placeholders-for-internet-explorer ...or why not change to a newer jQuery version? – Karl Adler Jun 11 '13 at 06:11
